Arctic Train
This scenic journey follows Narvik – Bjørnfjell and centres on arctic fjords and mountains. The train leaves Narvik and follows the railway into increasingly rugged surroundings on the way to Bjørnfjell. This makes the rail corridor itself the destination rather than simply a means of reaching somewhere else.

Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.

As the railway climbs away from Llanberis, the surroundings become more exposed and the scale of Eryri grows clearer.
